April 7, 20233 yr I would say having to DFA a guy 6 games into the season doesn't inspire much confidence in major league scouting (once again). What's hostetlers role again? I forget.

What's hostetlers role again? I forget. Dudes like Hostetler are barely putting any work in. Dude likely works 10 to 15 hours a week tops. The results of the last 18 years are proof of that. This kind of stuff happens in organizations where there is no accountability and job performance is secondary to being a "yes Man"
April 7, 20233 yr I don’t really care what money Hahn has set on fire at this point. I care that Grifol can tell him “DFA this guy, cut this guy” and it happens. Quickly. And that seems to be the case.

April 7, 20233 yr The fact it took this long is seriously pathetic. He never should have made the roster from spring training. He should have been DFA after that second horrible debacle outing. Another fine outstanding example of our Fu*#ked up front office having absolutely no clue in how to scout, draft, develop and coach winning major league pitchers.

I forget. Ruiz looked really good the game I saw him in the WBC. I was hoping for a surprise from him this year, but he's been batting practice. Don't think they exactly upgraded here, as Hahn taking most of the winter off is already starting to show. Obviously this organization is not serious about winning, just hoping for a few breaks.
